Rest In Peace, Jason Baker. You were a success. #BakersWarriors

When the Citizens United decision came down, folks had a chance to act. But instead, everyone basically said "game over" and moved on. Not in Montana.

Hey MT! If you want to help pass our FF Protection act call 406-444-4800 and leave a short message supporting SB160 to the operator. Tell them it's for the House Business and Labor Committee. #mtpol #mtleg #sb160 #cancersucks #f___Cancer #carryonwarrior

This is a big deal. After almost two decades of fighting to ensure firefighters get the coverage they are owed for job-related illnesses, we’re finally getting it done.

Tomorrow, as we lower our flags to half staff in honor of all Montana firefighters who have lost their lives from job-related illness in the line of duty, every firefighter in our state will know that Montana's got their back. It's about time.

Join Steve Bullock, Nate McConnell, and Montana firefighters on the Capitol steps tomorrow at 2:00pm as the Firefighter Protection Act is officially - and finally - signed into law. #mtpol #mtleg #mtnews

An honor to carry this bill. Thank you Steve Bullock @mscopff and all those who have been fighting so long for this.
